  • Log cabins on campus

    The campus of the University of Twente offers accommodation in 9 log cabins, located near the sports facilities (7 log cabins for 12 students and 2 log cabins for 16 students).

    It is possible that you share a log cabin with a group of students from another academic year or study programme. We cannot guarantee separate women's and men's log cabins, but we will do our best to meet the preferences. A sheet package (pillow case and fitted sheet) is mandatory and cost €3 per stay. These costs are not included in the price of €17.50. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag/coverlet and towel. The heating in the cabins is provided only to keep the cabins frost-free in the winter.

    All bathroom facilities are housed in a separate building about 25 meters from the log cabins. You have to arrange your own breakfast. There is a supermarket nearby. It takes approximately 10 minutes to walk from the log cabin to campus building De Horst, where most of your lectures will be held.
